I think I must be going off metal models as this one looks downright pudgy and squat. That's Leibovitz's style to some degree but this one doesn't work. I don't think Napoleonic soldiers were quite that well fed - even the officers.

I think is a good figure in the classic style of the brand, and it allows the posibility of using other head and saber, for example an officer of the horse grenadiers.
I like it.

Sorry, the horse grenadier already exists, Mr. Leibovitz has made the inverse idea with this figure.

Other head, different belt plaque, other saber and other left arm: New Figure.

Another great work from Bruno.
But as Edorta observed: using parts from different figures create a new figure.
Doesn't that all sculptors do??????
Why inventing the wheel again??

I agree.

I would like to clarify a bit more what I just said. I am not against this practice of using parts of existing figures to create new ones, in fact "Metal Modeles" has a serie called "Versions", composed in this way and sold at lower prices, along with the sale of accessories as heads, arms etc. so everyone can create their own conversions.
I think this is also one of the virtues of the brand. I love Metal Modeles figures, but this time the new release is not so original, but it´s ok.

It it is a bit podgy like the Dragoon,not quite sure the boots are right on both of them ,was the knee section not a bit different from the main leg part with a bit more shape.
Regards being a little fat ,not I the figure there is a tendency for sculpting longer body shapes and making them look like fashion models.

metal models do some great subjects but like these two the poses are never interesting on most of them
